Dear members of the MOL

With this extra newsletter you get information about the recent election and of the ongoing actions of the MOL.

In early August, the MOL board will be holding a retreat to work on important and ongoing issues concerning the mid-level. Do you have any concern that should be addressed, too? Then write to molremove-this.@remove-this.unilu.ch or contact one of the board members directly.

Best regards
The MOL Board
Tess Bardy (GMF), Matteo Frey (TF), Aline Leimann (RF), Alexander Ort (GMF), Antonia Steigerwald (KSF) 

The MOL has voted! Many thanks for the active participation in the election. Elected as MOL representative on the Ethics Board of the University of Lucerne is:

Brigitte Hofstetter Furrer (GMF)

Many thanks to Brigitte for her commitment, we are looking forward to working with her!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our treasurer

Lucien Käslin

for his commitment. Lucien has been treasurer of the MOL since April 2021 and is leaving the university - and thus the MOL - at the end of the month. In addition to the classic tasks such as booking individual items, he has also reliably kept the budget and annual accounts under control and thus contributed to the financial stability of the MOL with his work.

Dear Lucien, the whole MOL board and the office say THANK YOU!

The following positions are still open for candidatures. Information on the tasks and activities can be found under the corresponding link.

Representation actionuni: The organisation of the mid-level representatives in Switzerland, more information can be found under actionuni.ch.

Treasurer: The current treasurer Lucien Käslin introduced himself and his commitment to the MOL in the last newsletter.

Representation Quality Assurance Commission: Our current representative Antonia Steigerwald is happy to provide information about her activities for the MOL: About us

Deputies for all representations in the university committees (ULEKO, GLK, FoKo, Senate): A good opportunity to "get a taste" of a position! By taking on the position of a deputy, you will stay up to date and represent the MOL representative in meetings when she/he cannot attend. On our website "representing the Interests", you can find out what the individual committees do and how the MOL representatives are involved in them.
